Earlier draft read:

Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took pass this forest in the second volume of The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers. There they meet Gandalf again and travel to Helm's Deep with the Ents.

In "fact" they only met Gandalf in the film version (oh, I'm not typing all that out again, find it yourself). In the book they still thought he was dead until he turned up at Isengard after the Ents had trashed the joint.

[edit] Capitalization

According to the LOTR and standard usage, Forest is capitalized, so why is Fangorn Forest a redirect page to Fangorn forest and not the other way around? Clarityfiend 09:23, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move back to Fangorn

The article about the forest was originally located under the simple "Fangorn" title, but already quite a long time ago it was relocated to "Fangorn forest". The reason for this, as far as I understand, is that Fangorn is also the Sindarin translation of Treebeard, and currently Fangorn is a redirect to Treebeard article. Yet the name is most commonly used about the forest; the Ent is referenced thus only once or twice within the LotR, and I suppose most people would expect to find an article about the forest under the "Fangorn" title.

The forest is nearly always indexed as Fangorn, not Fangorn Forest, and is accordingly named on most maps. Súrendil 18:47, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Support the proposed move. This makes sense. Carcharoth 19:16, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

This article has been renamed from Fangorn forest to Fangorn as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 06:34, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

Have added refs and text that demonstrate notabilty.Tttom1 19:27, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Map

Maybe we can fix this article up by adding a map showing where Fangorn Forest is? The one on the Mordor page is good. I'm not that good at wiking so can someone do it for me? Norank (talk) 04:57, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
